Privacy Statement

 

 

The Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches - an orthodox Trinitarian Christian Church. 

 

As such we hold to the three Creeds adopted by Christianity worldwide; the Nicene Creed, the Apostles Creed and the Athanasian Creed.

 

The Bible is God’s Word, Incarnate and written and provides the foundation for the following doctrines which we affirm along with the Creeds:

 

Ø      Salvation is wholly dependent upon the work of God's unmerited favour and graciousness;

Ø      The Christian's mission is to follow the Great Commandment (Mark 12:29-31) and to fulfil the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20);

Ø      Jesus Christ is the only Way to salvation, the only Truth and the only Life on whom people may put their trust and obtain eternal life.  Only those who receive Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord become children of God.  As His children we are called to renounce any and all beliefs and activities which teach doctrines contrary to the Word of God;

Ø      The primary mission of the Church is to reach unbelievers and the unchurched, introduce them to a personal and life-changing relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and provide the contexts necessary to strengthen the faith and walk of children, young people and adults;

Ø      The Christian life is marked by the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, and self-control. Self-control includes fidelity in marriage, abstinence from any homosexual activity and continence outside the bonds of marriage;

Ø      God has entrusted to us the stewardship of creation and the protection and validation of the sanctity of all forms of human life, from conception to the grave;

Ø      Corporate worship is characterized by Holy Spirit led, decent and orderly liturgy which reflects a balance between verbal proclamation of the Word and visual demonstration through the Sacraments, including Baptism and Communion.
